Is it really the end of July? We’ve been keeping cool all month with lots of fantastic makes using Eileen Hull’s newest Sizzix dies, the Snowman and Mitten Box. Today we’re going to wrap it up with an epic Christmas in July post full of festive projects!
Get comfy and grab a beverage…
because there are so many to share! First up we have Elizabeth Robinson’s clever creation using the Snowman Die – she used it to make a holder for her glasses! I love it! It’s a great landing spot for things that get easily mislaid. You could use something like this for your phone or car keys too. Elizabeth shares the details of her Snowman Die hack on her blog.
Tonya Trantham used the Snowman Die plus past Eileen dies to create a fabulous mini Christmas journal. Inside is full of flaps, tuck spots and all sorts of darling bits and bobs. You must head over to her blog post and see all the detail photos of the inside pages. You won’t be sorry!
Mixed media magic is once again offered up by Karen Bearse in her full tutorial on how to create this fun Mitten tag. It would be fabulous as a Christmas ornament or gift tag (especially for an owl lover!) Paint, ink, embossing, this tag has it all.
Keep going, more to see…
Designer Jenny Marples has been finding inspiration in Eileen’s new dies all month long! She has multiple projects to share. First there are these fabulous Christmas cards made using nifty mixed media techniques (see her tutorial!) and the Mitten Box Die:
Jenny also just posted this brand new project – a Snowman accordion book. She used gel plate prints to good effect for the inner pages. Check out her tutorial for all her tricks and tips! I love all the textures and colors she achieved in this darling little book.
Last but not least Julia Aston has a cute cork fabric journal to share with us. In June we had a collaboration with Belagio to use their awesome cork fabric (check out the weekly June posts to see if you missed it). Julia used it to make a little snowman journal. Be sure to head on over to her blog to see the instructions and photos of the insides.
See, it was an epic Christmas in July post wasn’t it?
